LOOK 785 Huez Disc Early Launch

Availability: June 2018

Genesis:
As technology has advanced, disc brakes on road bikes just
make sense. Often decisive, the descent off the mountain is
as important as its ascent. With disc brakes the descending
speed increases, the road’s turns become less complicated,
braking comes later, stronger and gradually allows the rider to
take the advantage over their competitors. Reduce the risks
of riding with more powerful and more progressive braking on
all surfaces. Whether wet or dry roads, disc brakes give you
confidence and control

WHY TUBELESS
Disc braking is more progressive but also more powerful than rim braking. To get full
benefit from more effective braking, it is particularly important to improve the grip of
the tire with the riding surface. For this reason the 785 HUEZ DISC is equipped with
tubeless 28c tires. The larger volume provides a larger contact patch and makes it
possible to lower the pressure of the tire. This results in several advantages:

Added comfort through lower pressure: a real component of performance
during long outings.

We chose to use tubeless technology on our entire 785 DISC range. It allows the
rider to reduce inflation pressures while limiting the risk of punctures by pinching
and perforation. We have partnered with Hutchinson tires to offer the ‘Eleven Storm
Performance’ tire series, which has been particularly popular in comparative tests.
The Eleven Storm series offers reduced rolling resistance and ensures optimum
performance at all speeds.

FLAT MOUNT
The FLAT MOUNT disc brake standard allows direct attachment of the hydraulic
calipers to the carbon of the fork and frame.. Its main advantage, in addition to
refining the design and profile, is to reduce the overall weight of the system.

THROUGH AXLE SPEEDRELEASE
To optimize the rigidity and to compensate for the significant forces during
braking, the wheel axles used are 12 mm thru-axles. The 785 also uses one of
the latest innovations available: the speed-release system. This axle system allows
disassembly of the wheel twice as fast as with a traditional thru-axle. Indeed it is
not necessary to remove it completely from the frame or fork to clear the wheel. A
simple 5 mm release with an indexed setting and the wheel is removed while the
axle remains in the hub. This feature is particularly useful in competition for quick
and efficient wheel changes.
